Her Purrfect Match: Paranormal Dating Agency, Book 3

Another winner! Loved this story! A little bit of danger, a good share of laughs and a live almost lost.

I am a Sassy Mates series fan and faced with a cold winter night and in need of some real entertainment I purchased this series from Milly Taiden in hopes that she would not let me down. In Sassy Mates I was intrigued into purchasing the series with the lure of sexy wolf shifter brothers and their mature accomplished school teachers. I must admit in the past the draw of a menage with wolf shifters(Twice the Growl) , a bear seeking a long lost high school crush(Geek Bearing Gifts) and a tiger shifter faced with giving up his rule of the pride if he can't bring some cubs into the pride soon did not attract me. I am here now to repent of my previous lack of interest and will give Milly Taiden a wide berth in all future paranormal romance novels she may write. This novel is the best of the series so far, even though it seemed shorter than the previous two in the series.In this novel, Tallia's co-worker Alyssa Moran is in her mid-late 30's and is seeking the partner, children, house with the fence and perfect little forever love scenerio and having been unable to find it on her own, with a slew of loser schmucks in her past, she turns to Geraldine Wilder and the Paranomal Dating Agency to see if she can find "her one" outside of the human race.Grayson Green is facing a future alone as the leader of his pride and imminent challenges to his leadership if he is unable to produce cubs soon. His soldier and trusted guard Stripes makes contact on his behalf with the PDA and Gerry has the match for Talia as soon as they finish tea at their initial meeting. Gerry takes the dowdy Alyssa shopping for clothes that do not consist of baggy sweats and sends her off to meet her weekend date at his place in the mountains, near Tally's new home with her 2 wolves.Lost with a malfunctioning GPS and a flat tire she is surprised and frightened when a man and his tiger companion all but attack her on the muddy ground. Tynder is surprised by his tiger companion's response to Alyssa and takes her to the home of one Mr. Green of Green Edge the pride's leader and chief and her blind date.When Stripes rushes in to attempt to explain the situation that he set up to Gray with the PDA, while Gray is roughly interrogating Alyssa while Tynder stands off to the side, Alyssa is full of sass and wants to know why no one will help her get on the road to meet up with her date for the evening.Other reviewers have mentioned the quotable lines in this first meeting so I will not repeat them, but they won me over to the writing of Milly Taiden once again. Lyssa mentions to Tynder while Stripes is having a whispering session with Gray, "Do you think we should go? The big sexy one is pretty pissed for some reason." Tynder has a sense of humor the whole time after having met Alyssa roadside a few moments earlier and replies after laughing, "I don't think we should move right now."Gray is a recluse and an angry anti social one to boot, so when he tells Stripes and Tynder to leave him with Alyssa and Stripes begins to object he is cut off by Gray hissing, "I don't need help talking." Stripes retorts, "Yes, you do. You hate people."It just gets better from here and the retorts of Lyss are just the tool to break down the walls around Gray's long locked up heart.

4-4.5 starsThis was a really good story. I liked Alyssa very much and Gray was a pretty cool as well. Their story was very good and went quickly but I really liked it.Alyssa is a nice lady who hasn't had good luck with men. She grew up in a house where her father loved her mother a lot but her mother didn't love him back and treated him like crap. Alyssa hoped to find a man who loved her like her father loved her mother (but she'd treat her man much nicer than her mother treated her father). Unfortunately, she keeps finding losers that take advantage of her kind nature, using her and trying to tell her she can't do any better because she's a BBW.Gray is a Tiger shifter and the leader of his Tiger pride. Growing up there wasn't a lot of room for PDAs and such so Gray grew up believing that love didn't have a place in his life. He's been getting pressure from his pride to take a mate and have cubs but Gray has been holding back because of pure obstinance, not wanting to because people require it of him.Since Gray wasn't looking for his mate, one of his lieutenants decided to sign him up for the matchmaking service. Alyssa goes out to meet Gray, thinking he's expecting her and that she'll be there for a couple days to get to know Gray. She ends up getting a flat tire as she's getting close to where she needs to go and meets up with a Tiger and a man. She soon gets help and directed to the home of the local pride's leader and is surprised to find out that the pride leader is her "date". Gray is very attracted to Alyssa and sees her as a definite candidate for a mate but he's not real thrilled at his buddy's interference in signing him up for the service without his knowledge. He decides he likes Alyssa enough to go with the situation and see where it heads.Alyssa is very attracted to Gray and starts having dirty thoughts about him right away. They soon end up exploring their connection (sexually) as well as getting to know each other. Alyssa is happy with Gray because he obviously is different from the other men she's dated and treats her much better. Gray expresses his need for a mate and children and Alyssa likes him enough (and wants a serious relationship and children enough) that she agrees that they can start working on kids, leaving the rest of the relationship to grow as they get to know each other. Things go pretty well between them but there are some issues within the pride that interfere, mainly 2 other tigers that want a chance at Gray's position as leader. There is a bit of danger and drama that have to be dealt with but everything turns out well and Gray and Alyssa end the story starting their HEA together.This was a really enjoyable story. I really liked Alyssa. She was very straight forward, sweet and had a good sense of humor. Gray was a good hero and his only real detraction was his inability to grasp the concept of him and love co-existing (and that didn't last too long). Overall, this was a very good, low angst PNR and I'd recommend it. :D

I'm glad we finally are getting stories that encompasses the bbw category. We all need love and just because your thicker than a snicker does not exempt you from happiness.

Her Perfect Match is a delightful story that is a short and sweet romance with steamy lovemaking scenes. The only disappointment was the buildup of the female’s 4 cats that she could not live without but there was no mention of her mate (a tiger) interacting with the domesticated felines. Such a missed opportunity of comical scenes with the tiger and cats. Oh well, it was still a entertaining and romantic story.As always my thanks to all the talented authors that are willing to share their stories with us.

This was, all in all, a good book and it had the potential to be a brilliant book but it sold its self short on a few accounts. One, no character depth. These characters had no meaning and everything in their lives seemed to just flow effortlessly from the time they met, I mean the only thing I think I really learned about the main characters was the fact that they liked sex a lot and of course everyone loves a good steamy scene but if you dont connect to the characters before they start to have any type of relationship (and theres not enough depths to them to really feel any kind of affection/connection to them) then its like watching a porno. Its fun while you watch it but you dont think about the people in it ever again. Two, the story never developed far enough, it spans months but you dont hear any of the story, you go from chapter 8 to 9 and they've been living together for weeks and shes so in love with the little things he does, but wait, we (audience) have no idea what those little things are and three, it's a bit unrealistic. I mean sure lots of people have sex with men/women they dont no all the time and sometimes even build some type of relationship of it that yes may turn to love and yes I no its a paranormal book so the point of it is to be unrealistic but not with the dating/falling in love/having childeren parts. If your going to write a book (and hey im not knocking or trying to tell anyone how to do their job/hobby, I couldn't write a book at gun point) wouldn't you feel better if you took your time to write it and make it make sense and give it a back bone than to rush it (you can tell the books rushed) and instead of it turning out good make it turn out great? Anyways, it is a good book and if you're the type that dont need a connection with your characters to enjoy the story to a 5 star point of veiw (or you just like naughty sex) then you will love this book but unfortunately it doesn't live up to its five star reviews (for me, dont get your knickers in a twist) but if the author was to have given the story more depths and more insight then it would of been one hell of a book

Where are her cats ?Apparently they are the love of her life and beyond mentioning them in first few chapters they seem to have disappeared. She doesn't even mention them again all through the book. Story was okay but just same thing repeated. Sigh....

I really enjoyed this book. The characters are well developed and the storyline is interesting. Favourite character....Gerri.Loving this series.
